[Politics] Brexit

[nwgull]

Interesting stats on turnouts across various councils. Leave areas are generally down from 2014, and remain areas up - Brighton’s turnout is up significantly from 37.9% to 46.8%.

Indicates that the remain party may have done better than polls indicate, but who can predict anything these days?!

Rascist ***** the lot of them.

I did wonder how long before this word (spelt wrong btw) would get thrown about.

A characteristic problem-solving action from a nation that understands how to make the trains run on time explains everything that’s wrong about Britain in one simple decision.

Short (9 minute) clip of Owen Jones attending a Brexit Party rally. He comes across rather well (not sneering or pish-taking) and most of the attendees he interviews seem to be reasonable people (although one is rather sinister). Reminds me that stereotyping (we all do it) can be lazy thinking.

It you stand for, represent, vote for or join a racist party you are a rasict. Simple as that.

Absolutely and if you stand alongside those people for your political gain saying you are not racist then you are wrong. Your alignment with racists makes you racists; as Boris Johnson and Gove are prepared to do.

I don’t mean you but them lot.

The Brexit party are a covertly racist organisation. Once people like that gain power it’s not long before people start accepting overt racism. History spells this out for us. Graphically.

It's like gammon mate. It's one of the new words to enter the OED this year.

What are your feelings on racists and thick people being linked to your political and economic evaluation of why the EU is not for you? Must be a bit annoying. They think I'm a c***, thankfully. Where does it put you non rascists?

The comments, mainly, are laughable. A sense of doom pervades......

17.4 million is a hell of a lot of racists! Personally I grew out of throwing nasty names at people I didn't agree with at about the age of 6 or 7.

Don't think anyone has suggested that 17.4 million people are racist.

Surprised it's so low. People obviously don't care as much as I thought.

Wrong. Many have used that offensive term in implication.

Sounds like the far right parties seem to be on the rise..... worrying times ahead.

You gonna buy a tin hat?

 

[The Rivet]

Where did i say that? Why put that lie out? I was referring to the brexit party, who are unequivocally racist.

NO! They are not.

 

[Eeyore]

All the results are going to show is just how divided the country still is.

 

[The Rivet]

They 100% are, stop lying.

Cupid Stunt.

I'd emigrate if I could, but on my wages I'd only make it to The Isle of Wight, and that's even more of a shithole !

Probably this.

I really hope, for once on this thread, that the mods do their job and remove posts from people like you that spread fake news and lies.

I asked for that a couple of days ago. Addressed the message to Bozza too. No action, so I take that as a free for all. No Mods replied either. Go figure.
